Mi2d Reading.

Irving Bishop. The mind reader, gave a
public exhibition on the 9TH in New York.
A dispatch says A party gathered at the
Hoffman House, and Mr.. Irving requested
four gentlemen to act as committee
They were Col Thos. w. Knox, DR.. Hoyt.
Mr.. II. G. Bunner, of Puck, and Henry
Guy Carleton, of the World. He took a
scarf pin from Mrs. Frank Leslie, which
he gave to the committee and told them
to take it to any place they might desig-
nate within a mile Of the hotel and con-
ceal it. The committee drove eff in a
carriage and were gone about half an hour.
On their return Mr.. Bishop asked one of
the committee to blindfold him. This was
done by tying cotton batting around his
eyes. Then black bag was put over his
head and fastened around his neck. A car
rage was waiting at the door, and in
this Mr.. Bishop and three members of the
committee took seats and Bishop took the
reins and drove off through a crowd of
people and vehicles, guiding the horses
with remarkable deXterity, considering he
could not use his eyes. He drove almost
directly to the Gfammercy Park Hotel,
into which he turned without hesitation.
He walked into room and placed his
hand on a vase which rested upon table
and under the vase was the scarfpin. The
success of the exhibition was surprising to

REALISTIC IN THE EXTRE ME. The
Prince of Montenegro once insisted on
frightened artist painting a battle scene
on the field Of battle itself. The result
was realistic in the extreme, the canvass
being pierced with several genuine bullet
holes. The artist escaped without any
thing but severe fright, and the picture
thus obtained forms one of the treasured
art objects IN the palace at Cettinge.

The people Of Richmond, and especially
the, Democratic friends Of President
Cleveland. are in a bad humor about his
pocket veto Of the River and Harbor Bill.
Col Frank Ruflin says it will insure the
electoral vote of the State against him if
he should offer again for the Presidency.
The fact is Cleveland is running the gov
eminent in the interest of New Y DIRK, and
is under the influence of the Importers and
Free Traders of New York and Boston.

THE LIFE SAVING STATION.
What Superintendent Richardson
Says About IL.

The life saving station at Bowery Beach is
completed, as has already been stated in the
PRESS, at which time a description of the
new building was given. A reporter for the
PRESS called on Captain Richardson, super
intendent of the service, at lis headouar-
tiers In the custom house yesterday, TO make
some inquiries of that gentleman in regard
TO the station and received a cordial well
come.
When win the station be opened?" said
Captain Richardson, sis a question |
cannot answer, The matter remains in the
hands of the Treasury Department. The
building has been practically accepted be-
cause l have been ordered to take the keys,
but it has not been officially accepted. When
it is officially accepted shall be notified and
the furnishings will be forwarded from New
York. Yes, some of the articles may. be
provided here, but there are some that
could not be furnished here and have to
come from New York. 1t is not imperative
on the department to open a new station at
any fixed time. After it has been in service
year then it has to be opened September
LIST. The law, you see, says stations may be
opened, not must be opened. If the De-
partment so chooses this station may not be
opened until the one at Portsmouth is
opened, or until the one at Damariscotta is
completed, where, as yet not stick of
timber has been hauled on the ground, and
yet it is four months since it was decided to
establish station there. / understand that
MIR. Horace Trundy of Cape Elizabeth is an
applicant for the position of captain. He, If
appointed, will have the selection of the
life saving crew of seven men. But as you
see, the whole matter Of the running of the
station is thing of the future AT present
the whole matter is simply this, that the
house is completed and haye the keys"

A Rowdoin Graduates Work
New York Tribune. !


The city of Platteville, Wis. was in gala
dress few days ago to do honor to Presi-
dent Pickard, of the Iowa State University,
the founder and principal of the Platteville
Academy from 1876 to 1860. Mr.. Pickard
went to Platteville from Bowdoin College. a
young man of % years, and opened his
school in a frame building with only five pu-
pills. His power as teacher soon became
known. Students fiocked to his school from
all parts Of the West, and Pickard's Acade-
my gained the reputation of being prepar-
atory school which had few, if any superiors.
In 1858 a large three-story stone building
was erected NOW the north wing of the
State Normal SCHOOL,, additional teachers
werel employed, and for the remaining six
years of Mr.. Pickard's service the academy
had marked success preparing large
number of students for college. In 1859 Mr.
Pickard was elected superintendent of pub
lie instruction in Wisconsin, and the Platte
vile Academy in course of time was merged
into State Normal School. As Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction, Regent of Nor
NAL Schools and Regent of the State Univer-
sity, Mr.. Pickard's work is well known to
the people of Wisconsin. In the autumn of
1868 he was elected Superintendent of the
Chicago Schools, and for thirteen years filled
that position with great ability, and to this
day he is called the Father, of the Chicago
School System" In 1876 he accepted the
presidency of the State University Of Iowa,
performing the executive duties of that
great institution with marked success until
June last, when he resigned to take much
needed rest
